Kan Jam


What is Kan Jam? Kan Jam ® is a 4 player disc game, similar to cornhole played with a disc instead of bean bags that uses teamwork to score. The object of the game is to score points as a team by throwing the disc in the goal. The challenge comes from a teammate redirecting an errant toss on the other end. Players: Two Format: Single Elimination General Rules:

1. One partner throws the flying disc and, when necessary, the other partner redirects (deflects) it toward or into the goal. After both partners complete one throw each, the flying disc is passed to the opposing team. The thrower can score points with a direct hit to the goal or the deflector can score by deflecting the flying disc to hit or land inside the goal.

2. Players must throw from behind the goals front edge. 3. The most important aspect of the game is deflecting (tipping). KanJam in essence is a game of

deflection. While there is no one perfect way to tip, there are many tips which should be considered "carries." A carry is not only when a player catches and throws the disc into the goal. A carry is called on any illegal deflection.

4. Players waiting to tip may NOT touch the goal in any way, even to let it edge up to their legs for support. It must remain free standing at all times to be legal.

5. Deflectors can move anywhere within the playing area to redirect the disc, including in front of the goal if necessary

6. Scoring • Instant win: Throw the disc inside the kan through the small front slot opening or the top • 2 points: Throw the disc to strike the kan, unassisted by teammate • 3 points: Teammate deflects the disc throw inside the kan • 1 point: Teammate deflects the disc throw to hit the kan • A team must achieve an exact score of 11 points to win, or go back to the score they were at before

the round. Teams must complete an equal number of turns (except when an Instant Win is scored, then no rebuttable).
